āThe day it releases all that tension, all that stress is just released, the plate lifts up, pushes the water out of the way, and that's what creates the tsunami,ā said Dan Cox, a professor of coastal and ocean engineering at Oregon State University.
Students from @EngineeringOSU never cease to inspire me!! Charlie's thesis focused on a puzzle box design with many complex mechanical components but, in the process, created an incredible piece of art. See time-lapse of me (poorly) solving below.
Working with capstone instructor John Greeven, five engineering students modified a Aprilia 50cc motorcycle šļø to run on methanol, and broke the 50cc speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
